Show an onboarding tour of the Adobe for creativity connector: what capabilities are available, an example workflow for each, and which Adobe product powers it. Trigger when the user invokes /adobe by name, or asks what they can do with Adobe, what Adobe skills or tools exist, or wants a tour or overview of Adobe capabilities. Do NOT trigger this for a request to actually create/edit/design something (e.g. 'make me a flyer') — that goes straight to the matching Adobe skill or tool instead.

AI-generated overview

Renders an informational onboarding tour of the Adobe for creativity connector and its available capabilities.

What it does
This skill presents a guided overview of the Adobe for creativity connector: a step card explaining sign-in, tool permissions and file upload, plus a capability grid covering document review, template design, photo editing, resizing, social prep, video reels, data-driven PDFs and fonts. Each capability card shows a description, an example prompt, a skill slug and the Adobe product behind it. It is informational only and never edits, generates or exports anything itself.
When to use it
Use it when the user invokes /adobe by name, asks what they can do with Adobe, or wants a tour or overview of Adobe capabilities. It should not be used for an actual request to create, edit or design something, which goes to the matching Adobe skill instead.
Requirements
Runs as instructions only with no bundled scripts. It expects the step_card_display_v0 and visualize:read_me / visualize:show_widget tools, with plain markdown fallbacks if those are unavailable. No credentials or network access are needed by the skill itself.

Purpose

A one-glance orientation to the Adobe for creativity connector: how the flow works, what's available, and a concrete example prompt for each capability so the user can just try one. This skill is informational only — it never edits, generates, or exports anything itself.

Render, in order

1. How it works — step card

Call step_card_display_v0 with view: "list" (list lets the user scan all three at once) and this content, adjusted only if the account is already connected (drop step 1 in that case) or permissions are already set to Always allow (drop step 2):

  1. Sign in to your Adobe account — The plugin's installed, but it still needs your Adobe login to read and edit your files. Go to Customize > Connectors, find Adobe for creativity, and select Connect to sign in.
  2. Allow Adobe tools — Under Customize > Connectors, open Adobe for creativity and set each tool to Always allow. On Team or Enterprise plans, you can update them all at once from the connector-level dropdown. This prevents approval prompts from interrupting your work.
  3. Add your files through the Adobe file picker — When you ask for something like "make me a flyer," a file picker will pop up — use it to upload your images or documents instead of dragging them into the chat. This makes sure Adobe can actually read and edit them.
  4. Choose what to create — Browse the tiles below and pick what inspires you. Try the example prompt as-is or make it your own.

Text-only fallback (only if step_card_display_v0 is unavailable) — render the same content as a plain numbered markdown list: bold the step title, then its description on the same line or immediately after. Apply the same drop-step-1/drop-step-2 logic based on connection and permission state.

2. What's available — capability grid

Call visualize:read_me with modules: ["mockup"], then visualize:show_widget with a responsive card grid (repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr))), one card per capability below. Follow the design-system rules from read_me (flat surfaces, CSS variables, sentence case, no gradients), with this Adobe-branded, premium treatment:

  • Icon stays neutral (var(--text-secondary)), not red. Repeating the brand red on every element reads busy, not premium.
  • Adobe's red (#FA0F00) appears exactly once per card, as a short 2px accent rule (~28px wide) directly under the capability name — a quiet signature, not a highlight color.
  • Capability name: 15px/500, var(--text-primary).
  • Description: 13px, var(--text-secondary).
  • Example prompt: rendered as a quote in font-family: var(--font-voice) italic, var(--text-secondary) — this is the "editorial moment" the design system reserves the serif for, and it reads calmer than bold sans quotes.
  • Skill name: relabeled as an optional shortcut, not a mystery tag — prefix with "Or type:" in var(--text-muted), no background pill. Only the slug itself is colored: <span style="color: #FA0F00; font-family: var(--font-mono); font-size: 11px;">/adobe-design-from-template</span> — Adobe's exact accent red, matching the rule under the title, applied only to the command text so it stands out without adding a chip. In dark mode the same hex still reads fine against dark surfaces; no swap needed. This is the one exception to "skill name stays neutral" above — the slug earns color because it's now a clickable/typeable affordance, not a label.
  • Powered-by line: smallest text, var(--text-muted).
  • Generous padding (1.25rem 1.5rem+) and avoid stacking too many small text lines tightly — whitespace is what makes it feel premium, not more color.

Keep this table as the source of truth — update it if the underlying adobe-for-creativity skills change:

Text-only fallback (only if visualize:read_me/visualize:show_widget are unavailable) — skip both visualize calls and render the same table as a plain markdown list, one entry per capability, in this order: bold capability name; the description on the next line; the example prompt as an italic quote; then the skill slug as inline code with "— powered by <Powered by>" after it, e.g. `/adobe-design-from-template` — powered by Adobe Express. Drop the icon and the red accent rule — there's no styling to carry over in plain text.

3. Close with a nudge, in prose (not a tool)

One short sentence inviting the user to just try one of the example prompts verbatim. Don't restate the grid content — the cards already show it.

Ground rules

  • This skill only renders the tour. Never call adobe_mandatory_init or any other Adobe tool while onboarding — those fire only once the user actually asks for a workflow.
  • If the user's next message is a real request (not a question about the tour), hand off to the matching adobe-for-creativity skill/tool rather than re-showing the grid.
  • Try each widget tool first. Only drop to its text-only fallback when the tool call is genuinely unavailable in the current environment (e.g. absent from the tool list) — not merely because a call failed once.
  • Keep card copy to one line each; put any nuance in your own prose outside the tool calls, not inside the widget.
  • If a capability in the table above no longer matches what's installed, drop or update that row rather than describing a tool that isn't actually available.

Finds, searches, and previews real, licensable Adobe Fonts typefaces: contextual recommendations, direct lookup by name or facets (foundry, designer, style), metadata (language support, weight, foundry), style variants in a family, and a visual specimen. Use for font recommendations, looking up a specific font, "what does [font] look like", a font's language support or designer/foundry, weights/widths in a family, or choosing/pairing fonts for a design (poster, invitation, social post, brand, website, presentation). Discovers and previews fonts only — does not lay out the design. Triggers: "what font for...", "find fonts like [name]", "search Adobe Fonts for...", "does [font] support [language]", "who designed [font]".

Access: 🔐 Signed-In required | Gen AI: ❌ by default — image replacement only where the surface permits generative AI (e.g. Codex); none on Claude
